**His obituary specifically indicates his mother was Ethel F. Nalley, but after declining an edit to change the mother to Minnie Lee Smith Cranston, I received more information that he had a younger brother whose mother was definitely Minnie, so Samuel's birth mother had to be Minnie also. It is believed Ethel raised Samuel from a very early age and therefore was considered to be his mother after Minnie and Thomas divorced.
